What permissions are required in order to save the IGEL OS device log files?


Hello Everyone. Does anyone happen to know what permissions are required in order to save the device log files? We are attempting to limit permissions in the IGEL environment, and are finding that a user that is not a full admin is unable to save these files. Just wondering if we missed something here. Thank you!

Could it be linked to the Device -> UMS setting?


Yes! That could be!


Thank you for your time. It is appreciated.

@member – looks like this functionality requires the ‘Write’ permissions on the Devices to work properly… my colleague tracked that down on Friday and I just found out this morning. Thanks for the help!
